A brief description of steps the institution has taken to ensure that the purchasing policy, directives, or guidelines are followed :
Fiscal year 2010-2011 is the first time we have required the use of recycled copy paper in our new Canon Copy Center. All the paper we will be purchasing for them with be 30% recycled. We felt the heavy duty multi-functional machines would be able to handle this type of paper. The rest of the campus is using regular non-recycled copy paper because all the machines are new, and we were told by Canon staff that the recycled paper would cause the new machines to jam more frequently. The College has always used recycled colored copy paper for our color needs. The colored 30% recycled paper appears to run smoothly throughout the campus.
